    I realized at least a hundred tiny white maggots (1 to 2mm long)crawling on the inner surface of my tank. Any idea what they are?

    My friend's brother experienced having a 4-5cm maggot under his driftwood once. I help him in the setting up of the tank and I am sure that there is no visible maggot at that point of time. Must have grown to that size. GROSS

    Are you using ADA soil?

    These white slugs are commonly found in tanks that are overfed. See them often in my Luohan tanks in the past. tried chemical treatments but didn't really help.

    I got them too, so far spotted only 3 nos, not sure come from ADA soil or the hair grass which I get it from farm.
    As you mention you have more than 100 nos, better get rid of then by physically remove it.
